In case you haven't heard, the USF College of Marine Science is hosting an education and outreach event on Friday, February 15th - and you're invited!  The newly formed Tampa Bay Science Education Leadership Group is holding its inaugural "Share-a-Thon" event and luncheon from 9am to 2pm in the MSL Conference Room. 

The "Share-a-Thon" is an opportunity for local education and outreach professionals, scientists, and students to come together and inform each other of ongoing programs, current/upcoming events, volunteer needs, and collaboration opportunities.  The idea is to get everyone in a room to discuss topics of shared importance and make meaningful connections with regional partners.  Plus, this is a great time to learn about the Tampa Bay Science Education Leadership Group and how you can get involved!

Come have lunch on us and learn about E&O programs from:
  • The Science Center of Pinellas County
  • The Pier Aquarium
  • Suncoast Earthforce
  • FWRI
  • USF College of Marine Science
  • Florida Sea Grant
  • The Sierra Club
  • Tampa Baywatch
  • Tampa Bay Estuary Program
  • and MORE!
Speakers and guests are all invited to bring materials and resources from their organizations.  Have some brochures you're looking to distribute?  Coloring books?  Summer camp sign ups?  Everything is welcome - the more, the merrier!  We will have tables provided for literature and resources.

Space is limited, so if you're interested in joining us, please RSVP to me (Ali) with your name, organization, and lunch preference (meat or vegetarian).  If you know anyone else who would be interested in attending, please feel free to pass this invitation along!

We look forward to seeing you there!
